Ratings and reviews

If you force me to register for classes on the app ahead of time - fine, I'll download it and use it to register for classes. But don't force the user to "set goals" and "pick a virtual trainer." If you want those features as options someone can opt in to - fine. But it's annoying and makes the app feel busier than it needs to. Give me the important pieces of information front and center instead of putting your extra trash up front and making me dig for the class schedule.

This app offers so many things. Sure there can be some technical issues but the developers are quick to resolve it. When I emailed Support, they responded promptly. I use this app everyday to either register for a class, read Community messages and take an OnDemand class. I recently stumbled upon workout plan. I am so excited to try this.

The app is difficult to use, not intuitive at all. I am disappointed that I can't just add my activities, duration or miles or what have you. It wants me to set a timer to some preset activities. When I try to load individualized activities that I enjoy, there's no way to click "add" them. I'm pretty Tech savvy and if these things are manageable from the app, it is impossible to figure out how. This should be a lot easier to use. Wellness apps shouldn't be stressors.
